Acorn: Adaptive Coordinate networks for Neural Scene Representation

Continuing our recent  implicit neural representation focus. This presentation is from a new paper that will be presented at Siggraph 2021 later this summer.  It proposed a hybrid implicit-explicit neural representation.  Pretty slick.


The paper 'ACORN: Adaptive Coordinate Networks for Neural Scene Representation' can be found here.

The project page is here.

The github page is here (coming soon).

Smart Fabrics

Image
"What makes smart fabrics revolutionary is that they have the ability to do many things that traditional fabrics cannot, including communicate, transform, conduct energy and even grow."  This is a quote from Rebeccah Pailes-Friedman, who is a professor at Pratt with a research focus on developing wearable technology and smart textiles. Enhancing textiles can be viewed through different lens.  Enhancements can be aesthetic, or performance boosting, or durability boosting.

CycleGAN: a GAN architecture for learning unpaired image to image transformations

Image
 Like the Doublemint Twins touting the joys of Doublemint gum, 2 GANs are surely better than 1 GAN.  Especially if we package them together inside of one meta GAN module.  And this is exactly what the CycleGAN architecture does. Have you ever harbored dark secrets of turning a horse into a zebra?  The CycleGAN was developed to do just that. Learn how to turn a horse into a zebra.  And more. Now right away you can notice a difference between the image to image transformation GAN architectures we've been discussing over the last few posts.  Those last few posts described systems that learn from a database of matched input-output image pairs. And if your goal is to turn an edge representation into a nicely filled in continuous tone image, it's easy to build your database of matched input-output image pairs that your GAN system can then learn off of.  Take a continuous tone image (which will be the output of the database pair entry), then run it through an...
